Reudic resigned itself to momentarily take a moment to recuperate. Though the fear of fire was strong and instinctual for his kind, most had learned to suppress the fear or deal with it some other way. Reudic was among the best of its kind at keeping certain instincts controlled, perhaps even more so after spending time in the dense jungles of his homeworld. Understanding, firsthand, how ones instincts and fears affect oneself can allow for even greater control over them. Despite this, Reudic found himself greatly fearing Charlie's flames. Not only did the fire of the strange metal beast behave unnaturally, but it could spew streams of fire at will, and without regard for its own well being. Reudic's contained anger towards the metal beast mixed with the fear of its flame. The plant's indifferent and apathetic views of its fellow combatants was beginning to wane. It was starting to hate Charlie from the core of its being. Reudic decided to distract itself from the flood of emotions it was now experiencing, if only to try and get through the chaos that was continually unfolding.
Reudic began to coil its damaged roots and vines close to its 'body' as another set uncoiled themselves. The vines and roots would heal quick enough, and they'd be stronger than ever once they did but Reudic would still need to eat someithing to speed up the process. The plant was the first to break the silent truce between sides as it rushed towards one of the beasts. It's vines sprung out and lashed at its prey like whips as it began to emit the chemicals that would allow control over the beasts directly into the air around it. This method was slow, but now that Reudic knew that its abilities would work fairly well on these beasts, Reudic had no need to deliver the substance directly. The plant kept the dose low in order to not affect the other contestants combat abilities as it began to feed on the newly acquired beast. The only enemies that remained were the beasts that were attacking both Karen's group and Charlie, and the giant worm.
